Why make a launcher when there are already a lot available in the Palm OS market?
Why are there a lot available in the PalmOS market? Because the market is very large. And we believe we can offer a best launcher to suit most users' needs.
What makes ZLauncher different to other launchers currently available?
May be none. Most implementations of ZLauncher are based on users' needs. Do you think this is a difference?
When was zztechs formed and how many people work for the company?
ZZTECHS was formed in 2001, and it's a developing and growing company at the moment.
Has ZLauncher been as successful as you originally hoped for?
It's far away from what we hoped for. Our goal makes us keep working hard on our product to offer the better quality.
When will we all have a tool to help us create themes?
The theme maker is under development, we can not tell the exact release date, since ZLauncher is under improvement. We hope it would be released ASAP.
Are you planning on adding any new features in the near future and do you have plans for new applications?
Yes. We have a plenty of good ideas and promises in the plan-list, and we are working on some of them right now. As you know, ZLauncher is in its infancy. We hope to make it grown up to be the best product before starting other new projects.
How long did ZLauncher take to make?
1 year.
Where do you see the PDA market heading in the next 2 years?
The Handheld device market is growing up. A product which can suit most users' needs would be headingthe market. The Smartphone is a good invention that gives more opportunities to developers. The applications based on Internet and Wireless network would also make the market grow up.
What PDA do you use and why?
We are using a lot of PalmOS based PDAs, so that we can make sure our products work fine on most users' handhelds.
